$ fortune | cowsay ________________________________________ / Why, when no honest man will deny in \ | private that every ultimate problem is | | wrapped in the profoundest mystery, do | | honest men proclaim in pulpits that | | unhesitating certainty is the duty of | | the most foolish and ignorant? Is it | | not a spectacle to make the angels | | laugh? We are a company of ignorant | | beings, feeling our way through mists | | and darkness, learning only be | | incessantly repeated blunders, | | obtaining a glimmering of truth by | | falling into every conceivable error, | | dimly discerning light enough for our | | daily needs, but hopelessly differing | | whenever we attempt to describe the | | ultimate origin or end of our paths; | | and yet, when one of us ventures to | | declare that we don't know the map of | | the universe as well as the map of our | | infinitesimal parish, he is hooted, | | reviled, and perhaps told that he will | | be damned to all eternity for his | | faithlessness... | | | | -- Leslie Stephen, "An agnostic's | \ Apology", Fortnightly Review, 1876 / ---------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
